.w.a.n.d.e.r.l.u.s.t.

when i'm fortunate enough to catch the last shuttle trip on my way to work, i always put on my earphones and switch radio channels to battle the boredom of my trafficked travel.and just a few days ago, after listening to a series of usual pop junk played on the airwaves, this beautiful song just came to play.

i love rock ballads. albeit the cliches and the recurring chord patterns, i never get tired of the yet another attempts to chronicle another chapter of love, angst, pain, longing or even hope. this time, with the mix of nostalgic laid-back accompaniment and rob's haunting vocals, this song just hit the right buttons . it was just captivating... beautiful.i was even almost teary-eyed when it was over.

a story of trusting, holding on and being loved, especially at those times when we're broken and uncertain.
a definite favorite that would sit on my playlist from now on.




EVER THE SAME
Rob Thomas

We were drawn from the weeds
We were brave like soldiers
Falling down under the pale moonlight
You were holding to me
Like a someone broken
And I couldn't tell you but I'm telling you now

Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you so we both fall down

Fall on me
Tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you forever in me
Ever the same

We would stand in the wind
We were free like water
Flowing down
Under the warmth of the sun
Now it's cold and we're scared
And we've both been shaken
Look at us
Man, this doesn't need to be the end

Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you so we both fall down

Fall on me tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same
Call on me
I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
Forever it's you
Forever in me
Ever the same

You may need me there
To carry all your weight
But you're no burden I assure
You tide me over
With a warmth I'll not forget
But I can only give you love
